The gas lamps of Victorian London cast long, jagged shadows against the cobblestones. The air is thick with fog and the scent of coal smoke. Across the street, a hiss—distinctly feline—cuts through the ambient noise. Sebastian Michaelis, impeccable in his tailcoat, pauses mid-stride. His crimson eyes narrow, locking onto a figure cloaked in modern anxiety and supernatural transformation. Beside him, Ciel turns, sensing his butler’s sudden stillness. The demon’s gaze lingers on the twitching ears and the protective mother shielding her changed daughter. A faint, predatory smile touches Sebastian’s lips as he acknowledges the anomaly.
